Open notepad and put the following code into it and edit it to your pool and gpu settings. Then save it as cgminer.conf in the same folder as cgminer. All you need to do then is open cgminer.exe and you should be set.

Code:
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://YOUR POOL:POOL PORT",
"user" : "cncguitars.1",
"pass" : "x"
}
]
,
"intensity" : "19",
"vectors" : "1",
"worksize" : "256",
"kernel" : "scrypt",
"lookup-gap" : "0",
"thread-concurrency" : "5824",
"shaders" : "0",
"gpu-engine" : "780",
"gpu-fan" : "0-85",
"gpu-memclock" : "1180",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0",
"gpu-powertune" : "0",
"gpu-vddc" : "1.088",
"temp-cutoff" : "95",
"temp-overheat" : "85",
"temp-target" : "75",
"api-mcast-port" : "4028",
"api-port" : "4028",
"expiry" : "120",
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"hotplug" : "5",
"log" : "5",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"queue" : "1",
"scan-time" : "60",
"scrypt" : true,
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
}

Hope this helps.

Yes, 5824 sounds like a better TC to use with a 5870. But you could go up to 7500 or 8000.
Also you can try lowering scan-time from 60.

Once you have that working you can add additional pools to your cgminer.conf file. So if your main pool goes down you will automatically mine at a backup pool.
